Xylobladz includes Tuff Stuff to your blades as standard.
The Tuff Stuff option is not available on Series 1.
Tuff Stuff is a product that we put around the edges of the blade (yes even the CarboG has it on by default). It gives a very durable, slightly flexible and allows a sharp edge that cuts into the water. It is almost indestructible, so that some of the knocks the blade receives to the edges in switching sides, for instance, are cushioned. It is possible to leave this edge much thicker, however performance will be hindered.
It is not an epoxy that some others are using! We tried that years ago and found it to be brittle and shattered when hit.
It will not however save the timber in the blade if it is hit constantly or with enormous careless force! Impact to the blade and Tuff Stuff edges shows as white bruises which is the layer of carbon or glass and the lacquar showing stress. If paddles get a lot of impact to the face near the edge of course there will be wear and tear to the timber. Remember, these are finely crafted racing blades....treat them with respect.
